I've been working remotely for 10 years. Good ticketing system (Atlassian - JIRA and Wiki). Centralised source code repository and daily stand-up over Skype, otherwise known as a "Skype-up". Constant chatter on skype group chat. Shared screen sessions using Join.me. The biggest issue for most employers is trust. "Is my employee just watching the TV?", is the first thought that pops into the employer's mind. As a programmer, the work is largely quantifiable, so the issue of trust is muted. My employer can see exactly what I produce. It is plain to see in every check-in to source control. I have actually started renting my own office just round the corner from my home, so that I don't have to work from home anymore. I prefer the distinct separation of work and home life. My employer is in a different country if you were starting to wonder why I didn't just go to their office.
